Hi, I started LFS using VirtualBox sometime ago (version 6.3?) and run into problems during gcc tests. There were some bad failures as well as bad successes regarding (if I rememeber correctly) scheduling/threads. I tried it natively and that did work. (The hardware was an Apple MacBook Core Duo.)
Anway, does nobody else had strange test results using VirtualBox? Only me? (A little bit off-topic: I use VirtualBox (Windows host, Linux guest) to build some project and I found a reproducable bug which causes some files not to be rebuild after beeing changed. I use a script which replaces symlinks and I guess some meta data is not written/synced correctly. VMWare does not show this bug, but is slower in execution .. ;) So... imho you should at least pay attention if something goes wrong.) But you are right, snapshotting is/would be very helpfull. Using btrfs instead of ext3 is no alternative as this causes a big deviation, I guess.
